Name of Writer: Lissa Target Realm: ST Sex: Female Age: 26 Race: Anadoran (a Caucasoid alien race from the planet Anadore) Height: 5'6 Weight: 135 Voice: Low and generally brimming with amusement and irony. Hair Color: Jet black. Eye Color: Green. Complexion: Incredibly pale. Build: Medium height, toned and fit, athletic build with just the right hint of curves. She looks like the sort of woman who can take care of herself. Tattoos/Piercings/Scars/Birthmarks: Considering her line of work, Lori is amazingly devoid of scars. Her ears are pierced multiple times, but other than that she is devoid of personal decoration. She does, however, have a distinctly feline appearance due to her Anadoran bloodline, and her pupils are slitted like a cat's. She also has a third eyelid much like a cat. Sexual Preference: Bisexual. Fantasy: To make tons of money and retire to a resort planet before dying of old age. Barring that, she'll accept being shot by a jealous wife (or husband). Strengths: Physically fit, mentally sharp, skilled with a wide variety of blades and guns, agile and acrobatic. Weaknesses: Very impatient, does not maintain grace under pressure, can have a scathing temper if provoked, is weak to electricity in particular like most Anadorans. Odd Quirks (if applicable): Lori is ADD to the extreme. Having a conversation with her can be like listening to a radio randomly switching stations. Personality: Lori is outgoing, vivacious, fun to be around, and generally the life of any given party. She has a short attention span and the tendency to get bored quite easily. When Lori is bored, things tend to get unpredictable in her general vicinity. Lori Stark could sell seven different brands of ice to an Eskimo, and said Eskimo would walk away convinced he'd just taken advantage of the bargain of a lifetime. Hobbies: Gambling, drinking, carousing with mercenaries. Skills: Hand to hand fighting, knife-fighting, firearms. Merchant-related skills such as persuasion. Intimidation. Alien Archaeology & Anthropology. Is fluent in a wide variety of languages both living and dead. Magic (if applicable): None. Other than their enhanced reflexes and dexterity, Anadorans are basically humans. Some would say that her powers of persuasion border on magical, but Lori would dismiss that out of hand. Weapons (if applicable): Two elaborately-constructed knives with curved handles; a standard array of firearms. Occupation: Archaeologist and sometimes merchant. Captain of the Division 7. Background History: Lori Stark was born on Anadore, a jungle planet with a culture and civilization that approximated Earth's Renaissance, only more technologically advanced. Her father is an accomplished artist, who works closely with the museums to restore paintings; her mother is a senator in the Anadoran parliament. Through her father's work in museums, Lori became fascinated with the artifacts of alien civilizations. She attended the University of Anadore at Stratwick and received the equivalent of a Master's degree in Archaeology and Alien Anthropology. She is currently working on her doctorate, which requires seven years of field study. Anadorans don't quite age the same as humans, due to the differences in gravity on their planet. Lori is 26 years old, which would be roughly analogous to a human in her early twenties. She is currently entering her fourth year of field research. As far as archaeologists go, Lori is more Indiana Jones than Lord Carnarvan. She has 'liberated' more than one prized artifact in her short sojourn away from Anadore, and while she does faithfully return most of these to the Museum at Stratwick, she is not above occasionally selling them to those she feels might appreciate them more.
